23 year old Ruben Ray Martinez’s last words? “I’m sorry sir”. ICE shot him 3 times and killed him. Renee Good’s last words? “It’s ok I’m not mad”. Alex Pretti’s last words? “Are you ok?” These are the people DHS calls domestic terrorists. Threats. Aggressors. Abolish ICE

📖 🔊We have your weekend reading (and listening)! The new season of our podcast is accompanied by a series of pieces published in partnership with KCET. Today's is by Erika Bsumek at UT Austin about the work of botanist and suffragist Ellen Powell Thompson. www.pbssocal.org/ellen-powell...

Their guy said he'd pardon the J6 insurrectionists--and then shockingly did it. I haven't heard any potential Democratic candidate promise to pardon everybody arrested for protesting ICE. That'd go a long way toward showing me they're opposition and not just controlled.

This bat in that tree is a thing of beauty! 🦇🌸💜

Here's Kitty Kallen performing "Little Things Mean a Lot" from 1955. While most of the women Big Band singers had disappeared by the 1950s, Kallen kept on scoring hits. This song went to #1 in '54. www.youtube.com/watch?v=603b... #WHM #MusicSky #WomensHistoryMonth

I’ve seen it said that the conclusive proof for innate sexuality is the continued existence of heterosexual women over the age of 30.

A new study examined Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels to see if they could detect changes in his writing prior to his tragic Alzheimer's diagnosis. Here's what the study says, and what it doesn't say 🧪 skepchick.org/2026/03/did-...

All one must do is look at "expected deaths" year over year with pre-2020 data to see that people are still dying from that 🐼🎙️ that's supposedly over. Disabilities increasing as well. The leadership that lies to you about pandemics will lie to you about war, genocide, & justice WHOEVER is in charge.

A development such as this has been a goal for HIV researchers for decades. It is important because people who are faced with difficult treatment regimens are less likely to be compliant. Single Daily Tablet Shows Powerful Results for People With Drug-Resistant HIV share.google/RjULDFVtCYI9...

Frustrated by fragmented war news, Anghami’s Elie Habib built World Monitor, a platform that fuses global data, like aircraft signals and satellite detections, to track conflicts as they unfold. www.wired.com/story/world-...

Rosewater and Lamplight City are still sitting unplayed in my library, but I loved A Golden Wake — it's a fantastic point-and-click adventure that combines old-school sensibilities with smart design and an intriguing plot inspired by real history.

We were young, we were reckless, arrogant, silly, headstrong… and we were right! I regret Nothing. —Abbie Hoffman #Mondo2000 #Cyberpunk Coming Soon: Music & Consciousness Part II

“If you believe in something, you have to go through with it. It doesn’t matter what it costs. That’s the entertainment business. You have to have a feel. You have to have a hunch...” Jim Henson would never again have an advocate like Lew Grade, nor the full creative freedom it allowed.

And we also have Lew Grade’s belief in Jim Henson to thank for both THE MUPPET MOVIE & THE GREAT MUPPET CAPER. I think of this often - about how important simple, straightforward belief is vital to a creative spirit. Belief in yourself, but also others’ belief in you. (See: THE MUPPET MOVIE)

Not to harp on it (totally to harp on it), but I go back again & again to how strongly the notion of a support system of like-minded weirdos factored into the resonance of The Muppets. I’ve had plenty of long, dark nights of the soul, & this scene is a touchstone for me...
